Hallie's Comments

We are learning that, contrary to what used to be a popular belief, a tablespoon is not necessarily a tablespoon when it comes to measuring ingredients. As we share recipes with people around the world we are fast realizing that it is necessary to specify the system of measurements used in these recipes.

For instance: British, Australian and sometimes Canadian recipes use the imperial pint which is 20 fluid ounces; American and sometimes Canadian recipes use the American pint of 16 fluid ounces. The Australian tablespoon is 20mL; the British tablespoon is 17.7mL; in most Canadian recipes the tablespoon is 15mL; the American tablespoon is actually 14.2mL.

All of this gets very confusing after a while and it will be a relief for all of us when recipes become standardized and we use weights when measuring ingredients much more than we do at present.
